NANCY PELOSI

International Women’s Day, which celebrates global gender equality, will take place on March 8.

Reforming the tax code is hard, says John Boehner, who wouldn't endorse his own caucus member's overhaul proposal.

Speaker Boehner couldn't bring the votes for his original plan. Now he has to make nice with Democrats to pass the debt ceiling bill.

The former Pentagon chief's memoir is the talk of Washington, with damaging impressions of Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi and others.

Immigration reform advocates are smiling: A budget deal has the speaker at war with conservative groups -- and the reform goal may benefit.

The bill was passed overwhelmingly with a vote of 332-94, and it will now head to the Senate, which is poised to pass it next week.

And all the cliches apply: knock-on-wood, fingers-are-crossed etc.

Optimists say immigration reform may happen in 2014 if not this year. But some say its chances of happening are nil in either case.

The House minority leader says this will give U.S. consumers confidence for the holiday season.

The Senate minority leader wants to see if the House can actually pass its version of a federal budget and debt ceiling extension bill.

The minority leader says House Republicans are trying to sabotage the Senate's progress regarding a fiscal plan and debt ceiling increase.

Senate Majority Leader McConnell is reportedly looking over his Democratic counterpart's proposal at this very moment.

Republicans say they met Obama halfway, and that the short-term plan will give them time to have the conversation they want.

The shutdown could impact 2013 revenue for hotels, tour operators and others who depend on national parks and attractions.

WPDS 6 picked up the conversation just as Senator McConnell was about to be interviewed on camera.

Following the 90-minute meeting, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said the U.S. must raise the debt ceiling to avoid "cataclysmic" consequences.

The White House says the president would not negotiate on Obamacare. As a result, little change is expected.

A clean continuing resolution would immediately end the government shutdown, but it will take some Republican buy-in to join with House Democrats.

Work toward a budget: possible. Negotiating on the debt ceiling: no way. That's how the House minority leader summed up the Dem's position.

Pelosi plans to combine a Senate judiciary bill with a House border security bill still in the making, but it has little support.

Ten days before a potential U.S. government shutdown, the House voted for the 42nd time to defund or repeal Obamacare.
